Overview
Kaskelen valley is different from every other gorge near Almaty. Instead of narrow rock walls, it's wide and open — vast meadows, small lakes scattered around, a river snaking through the middle. The ride from Almaty is long and takes you through pine forest, sudden river crossings, and high-speed dirt roads where you can open up the throttle. The electric motors run at peak RPM on the long straights. The lakes at the end sit in a landscape that people compare to Tibet — big sky, big space, few people.

Rider Reviews
"Multiple passes above 3,000m to get to these lakes. Long sections with no visible trail. If the weather turns you're committed, no shortcuts back. We got lucky with clear skies. The lakes are small but the setting is wild."
Гульнара И."Remote alpine lakes with tough access trails. Full day of riding with significant elevation gain. Beautiful reward at the top."
